Gluten Free Play Dough

I found a recipe for gluten free play dough a couple of years ago and decided to give it a go.

It used cornflour and rice flour in place of wheat flour. The rest of the ingredients were the same as for usual play dough.

I have to say it was awful. The cornflour made it really starchy. It reminded me of silly putty. After rolling it in your hands for a minute it started to get really sticky so you had to stop using it.

So I made another batch using maize flour instead. This came out the same as usual homemade play dough using wheat flour.

Gluten free and dairy free advice and information - The special diet blog

My name is Gemma Mcfarlane. I have been cooking meals for people with special diets since leaving catering college. I became determined to offer the same choices to everyone so began researching and experimenting with different ingredients.

Many people think they have to give up their favourite foods when they discover they have a food intolerance or allergy. They are put off by bland, processed special diet cakes in supermarkets and long for good, homemade food but don't realise they can make anything better themselves.

By putting my recipes online I hope to introduce you to the joys of gluten and dairy free baking.
